tf.local_variables

Local variables - per process variables, usually not saved/restored to
checkpoint and used for temporary or intermediate values.
For example, they can be used as counters for metrics computation or
number of epochs this machine has read data.
The tf.contrib.framework.local_variable() function automatically adds the
new variable to GraphKeys.LOCAL_VARIABLES.
This convenience function returns the contents of that collection.

Args:

scope: (Optional.) A string. If supplied, the resulting list is filtered
to include only items whose name attribute matches scope using
re.match. Items without a name attribute are never returned if a
scope is supplied. The choice of re.match means that a scope without
special tokens filters by prefix.
